THE RAILROAD DISASTER.
The Scene OF the Wreck Visited by Many
Peonle.

People.
CLEVELAND. O., Jan S.-The scene Of the
railroad accident near Republic is still Wis
tied by many people. Some 90 out of more
curiosity: others are friends or relatives of
those who persisted there, eager to find
some article they might have had. The
track is cleared aud there is nothing to see
save a few bent rods, car wheels and pieces
of charred wood. Among the number who
visited the scene of the wreck to-day was
Warham Parks, Of OconOmowoc. Wis,
brother of Marshal NJ Parks, who persisted
in the wreck. Mr. Parks visited the scene
OF the disaster in company with Mr. Rankin
and another officer Of the Baltimore
d Ohio railroad. Rankin would say
but little, but the other officer,
Cherry Poor. spoke as to the RESPONSE
bihty Of the wreck. While he made no di-
rect charges. He talked in such manner
that there coIld be no doubt the officers Of
the road placed the responsibility directly
Oh the conductor and engineer Of the fret CHIT
train. He said that the officer never knew
of these men being intoxicated but the way
they managed thor train that night was Il
fearful blUndcr. Marshall II. Parks was q
clerk III the Department Of the Interior at
W aShlngton. He was on his way to Chi
cagO on official business. Mr.. Parks could
find nothing that his brother had with him,
nor any trace OF any thing that would lead
him to Identify any of the charred remains
as being his brothers. An inquest by the
coroner will be instituted in this city to-
day, when the railroad officials and officers
of the wrecked trains will be here. Cor

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

Plum shoots grated upon wild
stocks do well.-Prairie Farmer.
The editor of the Orange County
Farmer trains his tomatoes ~ poles,
and they grow six feet high.
1t may not generally be known
thai if the saucepan in which milk is to
be boiled be first moistened with water,
it will prevent the milk from burning.
Chicago Journal.
Instead of selling old cast iron at
one half cent per pound put small pieces
near the roots of grapes, currants,
goosebarries and fruit trees. 1t is very
beneficial. e. Farmer.
1t will be noticed that the sweetest
and best crop of plums are grown in
dry seasons, thus showing that dry,
well-drained upland locations are best
for them. The same, too, with grapes.
Tile Gardener.
Grapes grown on trees are free
from disease aud yield plenti-
fully. Plant them Il rod away from
large trees and train them up to limbs,
and they will soon run through the
trees-N. Y. Post.
Use the SCOT from the stovc-pipes
and chimneys. 1t is excellent for
flowers and young plants. Mix it with
water, about peck of SCOT to barrel
of water, and apply with watering
pot. Troy Times.
The white trench willow is regarded
as the best variety for planting on
farms. 1t has great vitality, and grows
very rapidly. AS the trunks are
straight, they make good fence posts
and supports for sheds. The wood is
good for fuel, and makes the best quail
ity of charcoal Chicago Times.

ANCIENT ACTS.
Some Stringent Temperance Laws Passed
in England Centuries Ago.

Some Stringent Temperance Laws Passed
in England Centuries Ago.
The most stringent laws we have had
passed were those of James l., which
| may almost be called the first piece of
temperance legislation; for though the
Act of Edward vi. gave power to JUS
! tees to suppress unnecessary tippling
houses, it was chiefly directed against
| using unlawful games, and bound the
licensed victualers to keep good order
in their houses. The act in the first
year of James was intended to restrain
the inor1inate haunting and tipping in
| inns and ale houses; it declares the
''true use of ale houses to be for the
, relief of wayfarers, and not for the
entertainment of lewde and idle peo-
pie" There was to be a penalty of ten
shillings for permitting unlawful
drinking" and all drinking was unlaw-
full except by bona fide travellers, by
the guests of travellers, and by artisans
and laborers during their dinner hour.
The public house was only to be open
to residents in the locality for one hour
in the day, for the consumption of
liquor on the premises. This act was
made perpetual, with some modifica-
tons intended to render conviction more
easy, in the last Parliament of James
In the first of Charles the penalties were
somewhat relaxed; but the law could
not be enforced, and under these strin-
gent laws drunkenness increased apace
1t had reached an extraordinary pitch
in 1869, when French Protestant
wrote from London: ''Therc is within
this city, and in all the towns of En-
gland which I have passed through, so
prodigious number of houses where
they sell certain drink called ale, that
l think good half of the inhabitants
may be denominated ale house keepers
But what is most deplorable
where gentlemen sit and spend much
of their time drinking muddy kind of
beverage, and tobacco, which has uni
versally besotted the nation, and at
which l hear they have consumed many
noble estates. And that
nothing may be wanting to the height
of luxury and impiety of this abomina-
ton, they have translated the organs
out of the churches to set them up in
taverns, chanting their dithyrambics
and bestial bacehanalias to the tune of
those instruments which were wont to
assist them in the celebration of Gods
praises, and regulate the voices of the
worst singers in the world, which are
the English in their churches at present.

TWO MlSERS.

Cold and Starvation Kills Them, Even
When Possessing Valuable Real Estate.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. S.-The misers, Jo-
seph Perry, aged seventy-three, and Robert
Price, aged sixty five, were found starved
this morning in their miserable abode in a
basement at lo25 Locust street, where they
have lived more than thirty years They
had never held any communication with
their neighbors, and the fact of their death
was learned only after it had been noticed
that they had not been seen to leave or enter
the place for a week This led to the police
being notified, and upon the apartments
being broken into the dead bodies of the
misers were found. Nothing is known of
their affairs, though it wa generally re-
ported in the neighborhoo'. hlat they had
money in the various ban.s Jewelry and
stock worth a few hundred dollars were
found among Perry's effects. He was
known to have real estate worth from $780,
BOO to S2O0,0o0. Price was carpenter by

4 Snlau-pOX Scare.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-An epidemic of small
poN is feared in Brooklyn. The first case
occurred week or more ago in a densely
populated portion of the city, where there
were 100000 people in houses lily built on
land which has been reclaimed from
swamp. 1t is openly charged that the
board of health has been derelict in the
matter. has suffered number of cases
OF smallpox to pass unnoticed; has re-
moved patients TO the pest house without
due regard to the safety of the neighbors
from contagion. permitting children to con-
gregate near by when patients We're being
removed from their houses to the van, and
that persons whose clothing was infected
We're allowed TO 60 about the streets at will.

Reduction of Hours and a Strike.

New ORLEANS, Jan. 4-The new Labor
law, regulating the hours of labor for
women and children employed IN factories,
went into operation yesterday. 1t fixed a
days labor for all boys under eighteen
and ell women at ten hours, or sixty hours
a week. from which one hour each day is
to be deducted for dinner. The owners of
the Maginniss 4 Lane cotton mills, who
employ a large number of woman and
boys, announced yesterday that they
would obey the law and reduce the hours
IF labor, but that this would require them
to reduce the pay ten per cent. Upon
hearing this number Of employees struck

VALUE OF MARL.
Its Importance as Fertilizer, and How
to Know and Apply 1t.

Its Importance as Fertilizer, and How
to Know and Apply 1t.
Mari is a clay quite generally dis
tributed. Its chief element of value is
the carbonate of lime it contains, al
though it sometimes holds notable
quantities of phosphate of lime, and
not unusually silica and the oxides of
iron and aluminium. The test, there
fore, for mari is simply to pour over it
any acid, as, for instance, strong vine
gar. Hydrochloric acid, however, is
generally employed. The less the res
idue left undissolvcd the better the
marl. The test should be made in an
earthen dish. Mari, therefore, is lime
fertilizer and should be SO employed.
Where lime is indicated as necessary to
the soil those clays that crumble down
easily under the action of the air or in
drying should be tested to discover if
they are marty. Neither lime nor mari,
however, should be composted with
manure. 1t renders volatile the nitro
gen of the manure, and it passes away
into the atmosphere as ammonia.
Gypsum-sulphate of lime-should be
employed, for it fixes the ammonia.
The action of mari on stiff soils is TO
divide and loosen them. 1t may be
applied by the wagon-load where it is
plenty, and for grass land two bushels
of salt per acre in addition to the
mari will be beneficial If swamp
muck containing nitrogen is to be APP
piled to well-irained soil, from sixty to
one hundred bushels of mari may be
mixed with ten loads of muck, and the
whole placed under or else scattered on
the plowed soil and cultivated in.--CAs.

A Fraudulent Firm.

NEW YORK, Jan. The Supreme Court

4 Co. manufacturers Of silk plush at Man
chester, England, upon claims for over 49,
BOO and Joseph Brooks & Co., of Bradford,
England, on claim for S25, 495. 1t is

made fictitious preferences to relatives in
the assignment filed last month. The allie
cation is made that Forter & Co., who were
uphOlsterers in this city purchased goods
abroad, which were pledged for loans.
